The next week will be a hypebeast sneaker fiends wet dream come to life. First, we document the lineups for the Lebron 9 Elite ‘South Beach’ and then next wek is the release of the Air Yeezy 2.
The shoe game isn’t about wearing sneakers so much anymore but capitalising on the hype generated from their release. You see what happened with Facebook’s IPO when the hype exceeded the reality?
I wonder when that moment will come to pass with kicks?
OCCUPY HOUSE-OF-HOOPS!!! lmao
Dallas – I give you ultimate props for you staying out there documenting this madness. As a recovering sneaker addict, I’m amazed at all the rigmarole for kicks now a days. A shout to the testament of the youth who wait out there for these sneaks, enjoy the folly and excitement. My old self will make due with the other come ups that I find in inconspicuous places…
Key word = “madness.” Power to the sheeple? I can respect that the shoe game had something to do with hustle and style but the internet hype game and easy access to (dis)information seems to have skewed shit badly. I hope the whole kicks schtick craters NOW and we all go back to enjoying whatever we enjoy: I’m wearing mostly Brooks now, real talk from my Penn Relays days…
And, speaking of “sport,” I assume all DP fam know this, Lightin’ Rod “Hustler’s Convention”?
